It’s a busy time for MBDA in Indiawhat with an impressive record of missiles manufactured in India dating back decades to ongoing tenders now across the three Services including arming the HAL’s Dhruv helicopter and future potential collaborations and manufacturing plans - the Company has its hands full!
In mid-October 2011, select Indian media visited MBDA’s facilities in Italy and the UK which followed the tour last year of the Company’s production lines in France.
On arrival at Naples (Italy) we were taken to MBDA’s facilities at the Fusaro plant to be briefed on MBDA Italy and the Marte Family of light anti-ship missiles. Later, after detailed briefings on the Taurus and PARS 3 systems, we headed for Rome, next day for Manchester (UK) to visit the facilities at Lostock. At this facility we learned about the Dual Mode Brimstone and Fire Shadow weapon systems before embarking on a site tour which included orientation on key technologies and capabilities.
